McFail Bridges might as well be Ben Simmons out there … within the first 2 minutes when he passed up trying to make a play late in the shot clock to allow Hart to heave a 3 with a man glued to him and no time on the clock I knew it was going to be another invisible MikFail game … guy is a complete pansy

A team with this much offensive talent looking as hopeless as last year on offense is not a good look for Thibs Ngl

We missed about two miles worth of shots inside ten feet and we had way too many FT misses. We're letting Detroit hang around and that's a dangerous proposition.

Our offensive sets are total garbage. Our defensive rebounding is pathetic. But Brunson and Towns are so amazing at scoring in ISO that we can win against all but 3 teams in the league. Back to Detroit we go for more ISO ball.

Everything you have ever wanted is on the other side of fear- George Adair

Absolutely hate how we started with no sense of urgency, hate how we played overall, hate how the game was called, hate how Thibs coached and hate the bad luck with Hart and Cap both going out at the same time!

We got nobody to blame but ourselves!

Disgusting game - so many unforced TO’s, dumb fouls and just putrid offense and defense at key times.

Can Brunson or Deuce stop a paper bag? Schroeder killing us at key points and Jalen can’t even step up for a spilt second and slow Cade down off high screen.

Once again Kat literally ignored all night on offensive end —- I don’t recall a single pass from Brunson to Towns.

Shitty offense and Thibs is useless standing on sideline watching this turd burger offense.

Exactly what happens when you don’t put a team away —- we seemingly can’t play well at home.

Such a up and down team.

Yep - wants to go side to side - afraid to attack unless clear path and his TO’s down stretch (**** lead pass to Mitch into 3rd row and soft pass out to Josh gets picked clean).

But can we ever just run some quick offense and push the ball?

This - we always come out MEH whenever we are up in a series.

Duren won them that game. Without Mitch - he got every board. KATs inability to box him out has been a major issue.

Someone skating by is Deuce.

Getting torched by Hardaway and sometimes Beasley.

Shooting 23/25/50 % on series and 4 ppg.

Meanwhile Boston blowing out Magic to close their series out at home.

Us we are too cool for school and came out flat in crucial game 5.

Now we will start to see the bodies fall apart —- like clockwork.

He’s allergic to going to the basket and for good reason because he’s probably gotten his weak attempts blocked every single time this series. Ball is swinging around and he has a small guard on him and will hot potato it over to Hart or Mitch bc he’s scared to make a play. This series is full of games where he should be the hero - he’s got horrible smaller defenders guarding him while our main guys are have Thompson and Duren who are monsters beating them up all game. And Bridges can’t even score on Hardaway. Pathetic.
